I will pay someone to build me a Unified Inbox add-in for Outlook 2010. I'm surprised this isn't built-in yet.

@mcconnelljj Yeah, I understand & appreciate that. Just wanted more. Name Volt led me to believe it wasn't a hybrid, but pure electric.

Was really pulling for GM/Chevy on the Volt. $41k for 40 miles is not enticing. The Tesla S will do 300 miles for $49k.

Google, Twitter, Poor Man's Email, and Saving the Lives of Lost Skiers

by Al Bsharah | 03.03.2009 08:14 PM | Comments (0)

Am I the only one finding this ironic? On Digg this evening, and both of these stories were on the front page at the same time.

Google's CEO comments on how Twitter is a "Poor Man's Email System" while lost Skiers are being saved thanks to the service. The irony is that both stories are on the front page of Digg simultaneously.

Poor man's email? Probably not...but maybe. Life saver? Quite possible!
